My ranting about books, movies, sports, politics, Christianity, culture, and youth ministry.

Easter Under Attack!
Leave it to Steven Colbert to satirize the ridiculousness of political correctness, Easter traditions that have nothing to do with Christianity, and the silliness of the fights some Christians pick with the culture. Enjoy your Easter and worship Christ without ever feeling like you need to defend him against a culture that does not understand. And make sure you explain the faith to your kids and the traditions that speak to our faith as opposed to those that are just cultural traditions. We can enjoy both, lets just make sure we understand what speaks to our faith and what does not! Even if Saint Peter the Rabbit brings a smile to our face!

Allan R. Bevere: Silly Attempts to Cover the Naked Truth
This is an AMAZING article. One day when I am over on the east side of Ohio I would love to take Allan out to lunch some time and pick his brain. The analogy of the Emperor's New Clothes and the quote "We adults have an uncanny knack for trivializing the momentous and complicating the obvious". . . . Genius. He nailed it: the issues pertaining to the left and the right, the Christian and the secularist, the cultural warrior and the politically correct.

Think Muslims are Strange? A "Christian" teaches sin with a python in a ...
Wow. I have seen some church "creativity" that was just awful but nothing like this! This is a case of a church creativity team that needs to be fired. This is wrong on so many levels! So many comments come to mind but I need to try and take the high road here. Enjoy!

My Take: Jesus would believe in evolution and so should you
Very well reasoned article here. If you struggle with the whole creation/evolution issue then you need to read this. Science is not the enemy of religion. In fact many of the sciences were started by Christians who wanted to better understand the principles of God's amazing creation. All truth is God's truth. Love to hear what some of you think.

Best Church Sign yet!
Best. Church Sign. Ever! And they are reformed too! It must have been predestined. Or this could be a zombie congregation. Either way, I would have loved to have been there when someone questioned the wording of the sign for the first time and everyone then freaked out.

The Power of Words
Wow. What a great reminder that words have power and when we just stop for a moment and think about what we are going to say, type, e-mail, text or write for that matter, we can make a choice to use words in a powerful way, an average way or a negative way. May we choose the higher ground. Now watch this video and let it really sink in.

The Fringe of American Christianity
There are several sites that I frequent for knowledge, spiritual insight and just plain humor. This sight I just discovered is firmly in the category of humor. I love the fringe elements of the Christian faith. Other faiths seem to produce radical terrorists as their fringe. Not us. We go for full blown crazy! Enjoy this link: On Your Knees For Jesus
Rebecca Black - Friday (OFFICIAL PARODY VIDEO) - Sunday - Sadie B
Another great parody of "Friday"! If only all teenagers came to church like this! A youth pastor's dream!!! Force yourself to watch it to the end. I believe the youth pastor and senior pastor make a brief appearance. This is soooo wonderfully cheesy!

LUCK Compilation 2010 || Best Luck of the Year || FUNNY || HD
See, there is lucky. Then there is insanely, ridiculously, "you just got a new lease on life buddy" lucky!
FAIL Compilation 2010 || Best Fails of the Year || FUNNY || HD
I resist the urge to make fun of these people simply because I know if a camera was on me 24/7 then I would most likely end up on a video like this one. With that said, I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes. Enjoy.
Best of A Normal Day
Now if I can only convince my kids that with the right attitude and a little skill, cleaning up their rooms could be this much fun!

The Preacher Your Preacher Could Preach Like
A United Methodist publishing company with a sense of humor! You must watch this. If you attend Epiphany UMC you will now wrestle with the question, "Are Doug and Lisa a Cokesbury preacher?" I must know now. I see many a comment on the communication cards of people who must know.
